New York's #1 obstructionist is out of office, apparently immediately. If you know anything about Albany you know the head of the Senate has enormous power, and Bruno has used it to block a lot of stuff progressives have sought (perhaps more notably more gay rights legislation). I know nothing about his successor, but it'll be interesting to see what opportunities this opens up - and what the state may now approve.
